Primary Duties and Key Responsibilities

• Serve as a contributing engineer on teams responsible for delivering complex product features and system enhancements, incorporating AI-assisted development tools into daily workflows to increase effectiveness and reduce manual effort.

• Break down functional and business requirements into clear, estimable technical tasks, using both traditional analysis and AI-enabled exploration to evaluate complexity and potential implementation paths.

• Write high-quality, maintainable code along with end-to-end automated tests for business-critical components. Use AI responsibly to support test generation, documentation, and refactoring tasks while validating all output.

• Ensure quality, performance, observability, security, and adherence to specifications for assigned development tasks and adjacent systems. Use AI-supported analysis tools to detect vulnerabilities, code-quality issues, or performance bottlenecks.

• Work with fellow engineers to ensure design and implementation decisions align with architectural standards, system constraints, and long-term platform strategy.

• Evaluate alternative technical approaches and provide input on patterns, frameworks, and secure coding practices, including leveraging AI to compare solution options or analyze tradeoffs.

• Troubleshoot complex issues using a combination of traditional debugging, log analysis, and AI-assisted root-cause exploration to accelerate diagnosis and remediation.

• Contribute to modernization efforts by refactoring legacy components, supporting migration plans, and using AI tools to analyze older code and propose updated patterns.

• Help define, promote, and support team coding standards, development patterns, and best practices, including proper use of AI in development workflows.

• Provide informal technical leadership and mentorship to Software Engineers I and II, including coaching them on responsible AI usage, prompt strategies, and validation techniques.

• Document processes, designs, and best practices and leverage AI tools when appropriate to improve clarity, consistency, and completeness.

• Communicate status, risks, and technical considerations clearly to teammates, managers, and product stakeholders.

• Contribute insights and improvements from prompt experimentation and AI-augmented workflows to help refine team standards and engineering practices.

Minimum Qualifications
